C# / .NET - clear List

In this article, we would like to show you how to clear List in C#.

Quick solution:

List<string> myList = new List<string> { "A", "B", "C" };

myList.Clear();

Practical example

In this example, we use Clear() method to remove all items from myList.

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;

public class Program
{
    public static void Main()
    {
        List<string> myList = new List<string> { "A", "B", "C" };

        Console.WriteLine("Before:");
        foreach (string item in myList)
            Console.WriteLine(item);

        myList.Clear(); // clear List

        Console.WriteLine("\nAfter:");
        foreach (string item in myList)
            Console.WriteLine(item);
    }
}

Output:

Before:
A
B
C

After:
